The time to change!!! "Stop watching f****** LOST"

Gary Vaynerchuck

Gary Vaynerchuck has became very famous. He started his career by improving his family wine business using the internet. He had the amazing ability to turn his family business into a national industry leader. He started the Wine Library TV, making videos about wine, and that was a huge success. Not only he started to be a success about the wines he was selling but also because of the way he used the technology we have nowadays. He uses twitter, facebook, and all kinds of social networks to do business. He focus on personal branding, which is making your own image online, using blogs, and all kinds of websites. His idea was to have people, specially future employees, find you online, they would see what are you involved with, what you like, what are you passionate about and see all kinds of interesting things you have posted on your personal page on every kind of website. You can use twitter, linkedin, blog, web-sites, even facebook or a youtube account can show you what you can do and who you are.



Gary talks a lot about how you should work with something you are passionate about, he says, if you don`t believe in yourself, the product you are representing, the company you work for, leave. He says we only have this life and we should do something that makes us happy, and something we are passionate about. He tell people, “think about what you want to do for the rest of your lives,” he encourages people to go out there and DO IT! He says we should start doing our own thing. We can grow, and built when we believe and love whatever you work with.




Brazen Careerist


Brazen Careerist is a websites that is focused on the Gen-Ys, it is a web site for us, made by people like us. They consider themselves leaders, and have a very similar train of thought as Gary. They believe we should stand-up and do everything we think, and everything we want. We should change the world to what we want to see, to where we want to leave in. They are a community of people that encourage Gen-Ys to go out there and do what they love. They have blogs and all kinds of pages to help Gen-Ys with subjects they might need advice on, or important issues and tips. The philosophy could be put together like this: Forget about cubicles and schedules and waiting for that promotion. Go out there promote yourself.



I really likes that both of these subjects are connected in a lot of ways. It is truly a trend now, to start questioning the business world we leave in. Should we be in a job we hate? They say no. The good thing is they are realistic about it all, they don`t say you are going to start making money all of a sudden, you are not going to be a success from one day to the other. You HAVE to WORK HARD. ;D
